Program Overview

Message From Dr. Corinne Bria, Program Director

Welcome to the Pediatric Residency Program at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida (NCHFL) in Orlando. We are eager to share the exciting innovations and expert pediatric care occurring here in Central Florida. We are leading from the front at Nemours Children's.

This is designed to enhance your learning and give you a solid foundation of inquiry that’s critical for the ever-changing landscape of national health care. Nemours is dedicated to improving the health of children by incorporating social determinants of health into our care model.

We hope you’ll consider a position in our residency program. We look forward to working alongside you to improve the health of children in our country and across the globe.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)

Lonna Gordon, MD
Adolescent Medicine
Director, Diversity Equity Inclusion GME

The Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida Residency Program is training you to help create the healthiest generation of children. The current generation of children are extremely diverse, and we are intentional for our residency program to reflect that diversity. We have a comprehensive view of diversity – race, religion, ethnicity, native language, ability status, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status — and so much more.

We believe that each person’s unique identity and story weaves a connection to our patients that is highly impactful in optimizing their health. At Nemours, Inclusion, Diversity,Equity & Alignment (IDEA) is leading organizational transformation and alignment to support our vision to go well beyond medicine, including how social determinants of health impact our children and the communities we live in.

While a resident at Nemours you will see how this works at the bedside, in formal didactics, through research. You will also have a core lecture series specifically focused on diversity, equity and inclusion topics to teach you how to augment these concepts into your practice.

Residency is long with many hours spent at the hospital. We want you to BELONG while you are here. Belonging means that you can show up to work as your authentic self, not having to cover or code-switch aspects of your identity in order to be accepted. We have a GME Diversity Equity and Inclusion committee that is comprised of peer selected trainees from each part of GME. This committee helps the social committee celebrate holidays that are important to our residents & fellows, partners with our community service committee to build the pipeline of health professionals coming from groups underrepresented in medicine and serves as a forum to address concerns that come up that impact any resident or fellow’s ability to belong. If you have additional questions about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion within our residency program please feel free to reach out to NCHGMEDDiversity@nemours.org.

Educational Experiences

The face-to-face interactions you have with patients during your residency is another key component of your education. These experiences will not only help you build medical knowledge and skills, but develop a component that’s critical in becoming an outstanding pediatrician, such as:

  • adopting a calm and confident bedside manner
  • translating complex concepts into information patients and families can understand
  • communicating with parents and adults, in addition to children

Opportunities to Learn, Collaborate and Self-Direct

  • daily huddles
  • morning report
  • noon conference
  • grand rounds
  • online primary care curriculum
  • bioethics conference
  • Capstone projects by PGY-3 residents
  • journal club
  • simulation activities/workshops
  • QI-based resident-led morbidity & mortality
  • Certification in Nexplanon® and Paragard®

Continuity Clinic

Nemours primary care clinic provides a medical home for an underserved population and will be the site of the resident continuity clinic experience. Each resident will have their own business cards and routine clinic day to see their panel of patients. An online curriculum for common primary care concerns will be available to supplement the residents’ knowledge and practice of ambulatory pediatrics and effective delivery of anticipatory guidance.

Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs)

Mentorship throughout the continuum of education is essential. All residents will not only receive extensive support and guidance from the graduate medical education staff, but also will select one, if not more, mentors to work with throughout their residency. Residents will complete an ILP that will contain short- and long-term SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely) goals. It will include goals related to overall health and wellness as well as career goals to promote resiliency.

Board Overview

We anticipate a 100 percent board passage rate. Our resident curriculum is based on the American Board of Pediatrics content specifications. Residents have an opportunity to take a concentrated board review elective during their third year to further enhance their preparation.

Library Resources

Educational technology is a cornerstone at our state-of-the-art hospital. We also offer robust library services, which include an on-site medical librarian at NCHFL and access to the University of Central Florida College of Medicine library system. Resources include:

  • Ovid MEDLINE®
  • PubMed 
  • UpToDate 
  • Harriet Lane Handbook 
  • Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics
  • Red Book Online® 
  • Access to evidence-based care pathways and other resources

Research

By creating ever-closer connections between clinical and research enterprises, Nemours is building a culture of continuous inquiry and discovery. Collaborative efforts — internally and with external partners — are leading to new ways to improve treatment, enhance the delivery of care, and support the best outcomes for children and families. The program includes educational conferences and mentorship in research design, implementation, and writing abstracts and manuscripts. Residents will have dedicated time during their training to perform mentored research/quality improvement activities with the goal of presenting at regional and national meetings as well as publications.

Advocacy

One of the goals of our pediatric residency program is to develop the advocate pediatrician. While advocacy opportunities are interspersed throughout residency, the dedicated advocacy rotation appeals to neurodiverse learners by layering different educational modalities to build a robust curriculum. Time is spent outside the hospital learning the needs of our patients and families from our community healthcare partners. Time is also spent in self-directed learning on car seat safety, water safety, and dog bite safety. Finally, time is spent developing advocacy projects using the AAP's CPTI Advocacy Rubric and contributing to fellow residents' advocacy projects. Our Advocacy Interest Group writes op-eds on current advocacy topics and creates content for the Central Florida Pediatric Advocacy Coalition. Our coalition was recently awarded the Leonard V. Rome CATCH grant to develop this partnership further.

Orlando Is a Playground for Couples, Families and Students

Orlando is the most-visited city in the nation. It’s the home of Walt Disney World®, Universal Orlando Resort®, SeaWorld Orlando®, and Legoland®. Orlando is much more than a tourist destination for theme parks. It is exploding with art and culture. The Dr. Phillips Center hosts ballet, opera, comedy, musicals, jazz and theater. There is dining ranging from James Beard Award-winning chefs preparing meals for a sophisticated palate to the food truck scene with adventurous culinary delights. Orlando is home to the Orlando Magic, Orlando City Soccer Club, and hosts many national and international sporting competitions. The Orlando Museum of Art tops the list of museums in the area, but there are photography, folk art and sculpture exhibitions throughout the region.

These are just a few of the reasons that Forbes and U.S. News & World Report have ranked it among the top cities to live.

The Orlando metro area has upwards of 2 million residents. Orlando residents are also a who’s who of cultural diversity, as it is home to residents from countries across the world. Among the varied communities, you’ll find everything from devoutly religious to casually spiritual. Also, Orlando is one of the fastest growing Spanish-speaking cities in America. There’s also celebration and support of the LGBTQ community, with plenty of events, like Gay Days at Disney World.
